Ben Stewart and Dan Stewart, creators of Esoteric Agenda and Kymatica, focus the essence of this film around the journey through transitional and groundbreaking moments in a human's life.
At a major juncture in his life, rob in the pagé family began down a road less traveled to free himself from fear, government control, and reliance on public energy and food supply, and shares his journey that led him off the grid.
The purpose of this film is not to provide legal advice, nor is it to simply educate, but rather as inspirational fuel. To become more of what we already are.
This is a very interesting video. I have been in this same mindset since I can remember the day I started questioning my reality.
Very interesting film, definitely "Red Pill" type analysis. There is constant tension between the notion and idea of the "collective", man as social animal and man as individual, beholden only to his own well being, free to cooperate or withdraw.
Urbanization, large scale industrialization/globalization and the advent of a consumer/materialist social culture has made it very difficult to disconnect and disassociate from from the current system.
Carl Schmitt, the great German jurist and legal scholar, summarized well the role of the sovereign and the great political questions in his essay "The concept of the political".
Recommended reading for anyone who wants to understand the great question of who rules and why.
I haven't watched the doc yet, but there is such a thing as "squatters rights", in Canada a squatter can own the land in 7 years, might have changed that to 10 years as in Ontario, in England it is 12 years.
In the States it varies from state to state, any professional real estate investor having proper education in squatters rights can deem it to be profitable.
There is also such a thing as a "freeman on the land" that originated, where else but in Canada. Who ever is interested should google all this stuff.---
From what I have personally researched the only province with "Adverse Possession" laws is Alberta. Basically you must live on the land for 10 years without interuption and you can take it from the actual owner. It is a very seldom used law here, But it has happened and you have little to no recourse if it happens.
This site is very informative. Your site will be bookmarked for future reference.
The concept of self reliance and detachment from governed system is convincing and doable in this film, but as far as actual events and processes Rob mentioned while he fought against allegations, testimonies, if provided by other parties involved or witnessed in those allegations would be more complete in a full length documentary film.
By the way.. this is a great website for documentaries, thank you for your generosity in providing free full length viewings. <3
This is indeed an inspiring and honest film which I feel wholehearted related to.. and yet like Rob said with tremendous hard work and dedications. But it could also be done with much much smaller property and house. Learning self reliance from our existing system in every aspect is self revolution. It doesn't mean to duplicate his path, but it is inspiring enough to begin to question for most people.
I only have one question, I wonder if he pays tax for public infrastructures like paved roads while he was stopped by police.... I don't know how the laws comply in Canada in that regard, but according to his explanations, that none of the lands within Canada belongs to Canada by definition of their law, so he is free to drive anywhere without drivers license while he's still using the infrastructures..? That seems somewhat conflicting from an ethical stand point.. because I believe most people would want people driving on the roads at least pass the road and written tests, which is provided by governing..?
when i liberate myself of the grid nobody gonna take my top lip topiary away
Thank you for this! I've been talking about wanting to go off the grid for months, and everyone i tell, tells me that I am nuts, and that the government will take my freedom, or that its impossible...this is so inspiring! I know I can do it, for the betterment of my family.
So... How does he get away from not paying taxes on the land he is now? And if he is not paying taxes, or anything (save phone + internet), why are there no agents storming his house?
Don't get me wrong, I loved this doc, this guy seems like one of the more intelligent people I've had the pleasure to listen to, but I just don't see how this works...
This video made me remember all the times i have been pressured from institutions and authority figures. Also, it made me think about all the societal situations that occurred to reenforce being part of this citizenship of Canada. A basic one is pledging allegiance. As well, now i have a greater understanding of why the RCMP do not engage in certain areas like civil matters.
Jeepers guys! get a room... U were politely asked to leave this "comments" space days ago. Yeah it's been fun, possibly educational but not inspirational. Go hijack some other webspace or even better meet up with each other in the fleshspace. Respect....
Meanwhile...
The Stewart bros make great grassroots inspirational stuff, reminding us we are in essence free human beings not slaves to corporation or culture. More please!
i really love these ideas wish it was easier done then said tho
Yes and it's an osprey.
I'm serious, I've seen your photography. That at least we have in common.
I'd rather talk about photography. Let us go to a photography doc. You do like photography?
Well i'm sorry you guys even though I really enjoyed this documentary and gained some good information had some great Discussions I am going to retire commenting on ungrip for awhile....I thought I would stop talking about the government I don't want them to come knocking on my door about the comments I made about them on TDF Lmao :D
Paying tax isn't that bad, think what you get for it. Education, defence, healthcare- we have the NHS, social care and public services, overseas aid to name but a few. Some of it's not spent how I'd like, I'd prefer we were not engaged in an illegal war and there are plenty of politicians that get paid more than they're worth. You have to take the good stuff and hope the bad stuff will improve. Luckily we have the right to protest, a freedom that some countries still cannot enjoy. Peaceful (and sometimes riotous) protest is a good way to start, its worked before and it can work again. I don't mind contributing to that stuff, same as I don't mind giving blood. It stings but someone benefits from it.
The very best way to not pay income tax is not to have taxable income. How hard is that to understand.
This is what I do and I have no problems because it is legal. Why go through all those contortions when in the end it a'int gonna work anyway?
Big ol' fat gibbous moon tonight.
Azilda Quite seriously you need to think. This woman is a fruit loop. Don't have to pay income tax? Tell it to those cooling their heels in Federal Prison who tried pulling that. Talk to them first and then read Ms. Croft.
That is as far as I read her PDF. That is as far as I needed to read her PDF.
Two more hours til the shuttle leaves.
Lol this is going to be interesting :D
No trouble I think. I'm being pretty specific to the doc I believe*. Quit listening to tin-foil hat conspiracy theories, which is what this doc and the "Amero" are. I've been hearing about the Amero for years and will unfortunately hear about for years to come, if you get my point.
Well, I'm off to REI to pick the menu I'll be dining on during my trip up into the high country. Probably 5 or 6 days. I think I'll stroll on down using the public River Path. Maybe on the way back I could stop in at the public library and down load a book to my Kindle for free. Nice to have something to read when you're kicked-back in the wilderness on public land.
Tomorrow I'll catch a public shuttle at the public mass transit station. That ride will cost me $1.50. Forty miles down the public road I'll arrive at the public Ranger Station. Then I'll pick a public trail - to begin my very, very private trip.
And I can do all this because I'm free to do so.
Just noticed a direct correlation between the shirtyness of my comments and the number of coffees i've had today.
Oh its no big secret what's going to happen. I just want to see the guy's face when it does.
Judge Judy! I can't abide Her Honor, but I sure would like to watch Mr. Page pull his dictionary ju-ju on that woman.
